Choosing a Roofing Contractor in Warminster PA

Roofing repairs must be performed correctly to protect the integrity of your roof, and a new roof system is a substantial investment in the appearance, value and future of your home. It is critical therefore, that roof repairs and roof installation be done correctly and with quality materials in order to protect one's home or business. The National Roofing Contractors Association was established in 1886 for the benefit and protection of roofing professionals and consumers alike, and is one of the construction industry's oldest and most respected trade organizations. Recognizing the need for consumer education when selecting a roofing contractor, they offer consumers helpful suggestions to aid them in pre-qualifying their roofing contractor selection. Some of their more noteworthy recommendations include:

Looking to see if the roofing contractor in Warminster PA has a permanent place of business, with physical address, telephone number, website, etc. Also check to see if he has an appropriate business license

Call the Better Business Bureau and check to see what the contractor's rating is there, and whether there have been any complaints lodged against him.

Determine whether the roofer is a member of any national, state or local roofing industry organizations.

Ask to see a copy of the roofer's workers' compensation certificate as well as proof of liability insurance coverage. Check the expiration dates - you'll want to make certain the coverage is in effect during the time work will be performed on your property.

Get a written job proposal and cost estimate. It should include a list of materials, and the approximate length of time (weather permitting) that the job will take. Be sure and be clear on payment expectations.

Can the contractor show you other projects similar to your own that he has completed in your area? Does he readily provide a list of references that you can call when asked?

Whether you are contemplating a commercial roofing or residential roofing project, there are certain procedures that are standard operating procedure that should be followed. Ask the roofer you're considering approximately how many workmen will be required to complete the job, what their qualifications are, and how they will be supervised. Get the name of the person who will be in charge.

Get a written guarantee, and read it thoroughly. Consider if there are any provisions included that would permit it to become null and void.

Be Smart When Deciding Your Roofer

Many people allow price to be the deciding construct when making a large purchase such as a new roof, but the old adage about getting what you pay for does have merit in this consideration. There is always someone willing to do a job for less money ... someone new, someone down on their luck, someone who perhaps isn't quite as stable as the next guy. Remember that quality of workmanship and materials, dependability, professionalism and warranty should all factor into your final decision. Also, when all the pertinent factors weigh in equally, go with your intuition. Pick the person with whom you've been able to establish rapport. When its all said and done, it's always nicer to work with someone with whom you can easily communicate!
